Jesus Christ, My Sure Defense

Author: Catherine Winkworth; Louise Henrietta von Brandenburg Meter: 7.8.7.8.7.7 Appears in 56 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Jesus Christ, my sure Defense And my Savior, ever liveth; Knowing this, my confidence Rests upon the hope it giveth, Though the night of death be fraught Still with many an anxious thought. 2 Jesus, my Redeemer, lives; I, too, unto life must waken. Endless joy my Savior gives; Shall my courage then be shaken? Shall I fear, or could the Head Rise and leave His members dead? 3 Nay, too closely am I bound To my Lord by hope forever. Faith's strong hand the Rock has found, Grasped it and will leave it never. Now not even death can part From its Lord the trusting heart. 4 Savior, draw away our heart Now from pleasures base and hollow; Let us there with Thee have part, Here on earth Thy footsteps follow. Fix our hearts beyond the skies, Whither we ourselves would rise. 5 Laugh to scorn the gloomy grave And at death no longer tremble. He who came the world to save Will at last His own assemble. They will go their Lord to meet, Leaving death beneath their feet. Topics: The Church Year Easter Used With Tune: BRANDENBURG

Why art thou cast down, my soul?

Author: B. Schmolck; H. A. Brorson Meter: 7.8.7.8.7.7 Appears in 3 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Why art thou cast down, my soul? O what mean thy sighs and sadness? Trust in Him who makes thee whole, And thy griefs can turn to gladness,-- Often in the darkest hour He reveals His love and power. 2 On this ground thy anchor cast; Safe thou art, in Christ confiding; All the griefs which here thou hast Are but shadows unabiding. Soon thy cross shall pass away, Joy shall come that lasts for aye. 3 Christ's own way is always good, Christians find this consolation: He who bought thee with His blood, Now stands pledged for thy salvation. Rest upon His sacred word-- That assurance doth afford! 4 Jesus gives us joy and tears, Blesséd be His name forever! When thy way most dark appears, Trust in Him, despond thou never; Weary soul, when sore distressed, Call on Him and be at rest. 5 Surely, narrow is the way To the land of gladness yonder; While on this sad earth we stay, We must here as pilgrims wander, Through the desert we must roam, Till we Canaan reach, our home. 6 Upward, then, my weary soul, Where the crown of life is given! Pressing onward to the goal, I shall win the bliss of heaven; For, O Jesus, I am Thine, Blest am I, for Thou art mine!

God of grace, whose word is sure

Meter: 7.8.7.8.7.7 Appears in 4 hymnals Lyrics: 1 God of grace, whose word is sure, Thou who keepest truth forever, That my trust may rest secure On this ground that wavers never: Let Thy truth be dear to me, That my soul may faithful be. 2 True this word will e'er remain: He who Christ to own refuses, Though he all the world should gain, His immortal soul he loses; For the Saviour will not own Him before the Father's throne. 3 To the banner of the cross I fidelity have plighted; It will be my endless loss If this solemn vow were slighted; Therefore Jesus, none but He, Shall my constant watchword be. 4 Let me, till my latest breath, Christ confess with constant meekness; Let me faithful be till death, Strong in Him 'mid all my weakness: Let me live in Him, and die Heir of mansions in the sky.

Earthly things must face and fall; Jesus is my Life, my All. 4 Then away, O world! thy joy Leads the soul to grief and sorrow; Death is found in sin's employ Fears to-day, regrets to-morrow. Jesus only satisfies; Jesus points me to the skies! Amen.

Who, though filling all the skies, Yet dost make this house Thy dwelling, And to us dost here dispense Thy pure word and sacraments. 3 Hitherto upon this house Hath salvation surely rested And our God hath been with us, And Himself hath manifested. Here His Spirit He hath given To reveal the way to heaven. 4 Oh how lovely, meet and right In His temple to adore Him! Let us now in Him delight, And with gladness come before Him. Treasures lasting, precious, pure, From above we here secure. 5 Dearest Guest, with us abide, With Thy holy Word still feed us; Hitherto by Thee supplied, Still by living waters lead us! Keep Thy Church on earth secure While the earth itself endure. Topics: Opening Hymns Used With Tune: [Oh, how holy is this place]
